I'm assuming request is an MPI_Request object. And integer(indices)[0] is where you want the outcount to go, and then integer(indices)[1] through [value_of_outcount] is where you want the indices to go, right?

If so, then yes, that looks proper.

You'll probably need to look into what's happening in the R wrapper as to why you're not getting the right answers, sorry.

(and yes, the values in the indices[] array should be between 0 and (incount-1))
